From: Jikil Kamenev You'll also find a mature community on par with SL's,but perhaps minus the XXX open-endedness. Surprisingly for an MMORPG,it has a strong emphasis on individual reputation (a bit like SL),and all immature/TOS breaker people are quickly dealt with and BANNED,as far as I am aware of. CC will be needed also on the trials,I think. (I had 30-day CD trial and I had to give out a CC) The only problem that people consistently bring up is the 'travelling'; yes it can be long at times but because EVE isn't a major drain on your PC,feel free to play say Second Life while engaging a so-called 3 hour autopilot trip. Worth a try at least. Day 1 new players have been reported to kill month/year-old players,so it's not all about bigger ships either..... I'd bet half,if not all the Lindens have tried this game.  Eve Online rocks. It's can be a grind the first month or so but you will meet people and make friends. I know a few SL folks there and I know a few Eve folks that have tried SL. I highly recommend Eve. |

From: Sam Portocarrero Off the top of my head... The Sims OnlineThereProject EntropiaHalf-Life2MooveIMVUActive WorldsHabbo HotelI've personally only played TSO, There, IMVU (think 3d IM client), and Moove ("ditzy wuv world, which I hated ROFL", Active Worlds, and attempted Habbo, but never got it to work. I hear that China was going to invest $1 Billion in a online world about like SL, but I haven’t heard much since. Microsoft was also supposed to be developing an SL style world, but I haven’t heard much of that either. - Sam HL2? What the heck is HL2 doing on that list!? I meen, it's a great game, but it's hack-and-slash. Only instead of swords and axes you have crowbars, guns, and physics manipulators  |

From: Lupus Delacroix I fixed your quote Starax so it accurately portrays the current BF2 ; P
Yeah, I'm bitter lol, I've played the game in competition since the first day of release, and what started as a fairly well balanced game for comp has gotten progressively worse with each patch. That is abou THE most impolite thing you can do in online forums, you know. |

If you're actually looking for an online RPG, you might try Minions of Mirth. It's not much like SL, it really is a MMORPG (well, I don't know about "massively"  , with monsters, quests, etc., but the interesting aspect is that players contribute content to the world, and you can get a copy of the server for free and play with it, let others connect to it, etc. -- and it also can run in standalone mode, which is handy if you're planning on going on holiday somewhere without a net connection or something. neko |

From: Starax Statosky Battlefield 2 is great. The vehicles and scenery are amazing. Although the conversations can get a little predictable after a while.
My chat log from the other day:
Starax: Greetings
Starax: Medic!
Starax: (repeat x200)
Starax: Bye everybody! Hmm.... you have more luck than me. For me it's usually... Psyra: Let's get out there and win! Psyra: You're going the wrong way! Psyra: Watch your friendly fire! Psyra: Stop TKing! Psyra: Don't drive the carrier off the map! Psyra: We'd have a better chance if we had some cover fire here. Psyra: Get that capture point back! Psyra: You're going the wrong way! Psyra: Watch your friendly fire! Psyra: Stop TKing! Psyra: Don't drive the carrier off the map! Psyra: We'd have a better chance if we had some cover fire here. Psyra: Get that capture point back! Psyra: You're going the wrong way! Psyra: Watch your friendly fire! Psyra: Stop TKing! Psyra: Don't drive the carrier off the map! Psyra: We'd have a better chance if we had some cover fire here. Psyra: Get that capture point back! Psyra: We're hosed.

Starax: Bye everybody! I have NO idea what you're talking about here, but it cracked me up!! Reminded me of my time in Ultima Online, where I was just constantly being killed by PKs or monsters. I don't know how I could've loved a game I sucked so badly at, but I did. |

From: Jikil Kamenev
Day 1 new players have been reported to kill month/year-old players,so it's not all about bigger ships either.....
Fighting, shmighting. Here's the basic strategy I've set my ship up for: 1. Find someone who's mining in a "free for all" sector. 2. Alert every known pirate I can get a hold of to his existance. 3. Mine in peace while his new friends "introduce" themselves. 4. Run away ASAP. (supposed "allies" or not, some of the distingushed gentlemen I work with regularly get a little over excited when they smell blood.) Sometimes I can score a finder's fee depending on how well my dealings in the past have been with the pirates in question, and how successful they where in the miner bashing exercise. |

From: katykiwi Moonflower One that I would love to see progress into serious development is Frontier 1869. The game sounds fantastic but they cant seem to get past the funding problems. Me too, I would start playing it right away, if the plans ever became reality. I even e-mailed the creator, and he was really quick to response (indication of customer service?), saying that even us Europeans would be taken into consideration while develping it, and that he was also pleased of the encouragement. If only someone in their right mind would finance it! Some big - shot company with a Western tv-series, or movie out. Or maybe even a smaller one, take a risk and see what comes of it.
